A DEMOCRATIC SCHEME.



A Washington dispatch saws The adj
ADMINISTRATION is SAID, by democrats who
lught 10 know, to have made a plan of its
aOWo with respect to the coming campaign,
and to be carrying it out already. New
York is unquestionahly to be the pivotal
point, and the intention of concliating
View York is shown in a striking way in
recent appointments. A gentleman ia
,niliar with the politics of New York, who
mas just made an extended tour through
chat State, and who talked with Gov. Hill,
says that HUI speaks in a very different
way Of the presidential situation than he
Hid one year ago. Then he had much
confidence that there was dissatisfaction
enough in the State, or that enough
.'unld Ia created with the administers
zion OF Mr.. Cleveland to make it
Amprobab g that he could secure IA united
delegation to the democratic national CON
@enuon, and that he, Hill, would be able
60 organize a machine which would con-
troll the delegation for himself "All this
e changed now" SAYS this gentleman.
Gov. Hill, on the contrary, seems TO have
LOSt that extraordinary confidence in him
SELF which has characterized him hereto
iOre. Tie IS very modest on the presiden-
tlal question. He Is apparently enthusi-
2Stic fOr the denomination of Mr. CleVe-
land and has in mind only his own re-
nomination Tor the gOvernorship."
Another movement on the part of the adj
ninstration is to secure a campaign book
out of the report of the civil service com
mission upon the Chicago federal offices.
Whether all of the commissioners know
it or not, it is very evident that the dupli-
cate report is to be so presented that it is
expected to satisfy both the bourbon and
the mugwump constituency of the admin
istration; Mr., Edgerton S report, although
n0minally the report of minority
will represent the majority of the
party, and will be quoted in
She democratic newspapers, which will
ignore or scott at the report of Oberly and
Lyman. IL is now in the hands of the
public printer, and if the testimony is to
be printed with it, it will make large
volume. The democratic campaign com
nittee was short of funds last year, and
the printer has recently threatened to sue
. responsible person, if he could find one,
for the unpaid printing bill but the civil
service commission has made sure that
The committee shall be furnished with
one campaign book at government ex-
